This statement represents the same mentality that killed my desire to run off-road... Carrying large storage containers of different tires to/from each event got really old, really fast.

The day will come where those strong turnouts the off-road crowd enjoys now might not be able to be taken for granted, much like the current situation at a lot of on-road tracks nowadays. The argument isn't that we're going to get 1000s of new participants as a result of making a single change, but make it easier for those already participating and a more attractive pursuit for those thinking about joining the hobby for the first time. Seems like a worthwhile step towards increasing our overall numbers at a time when our clubs really could use a boost in regular attendance.
